Disney Alaska: Skagway

Our first port was Skagway, a beautiful small town of about 800 people. We were already docked by the time we woke up and this was our earliest excursion morning. We had breakfast and then headed to meet our tour- the White Pass Scenic Railroad.

Given C's age, I chose the 4 hour train only tour instead of the longer options that included train one way and bus the other way. The views were breath taking and the commentary enjoyable. We learned that White Pass was one of the main routes that the early settlers took and let's just say that couldn't have been fun to hike!


We got to see many beautiful views including some large waterfalls, interesting tunnels, and even passed into Canada again. We also spotted a black bear cub. S & my mom had a fun time looking for the different flowers and plants they noted in our brochure. C slept most of the way up and then just seemed mesmerized looking outside on the way back.

We returned around lunch time and split up -my parents stayed in town to explore and shop, while we went back to the ship for lunch, rest, and fun time.

We finished our scavenger hunt for Anna's sweets as today was the day that the shipped turned Frozen! This was super fun - Daisy dressed up like Elsa, there was a dance party, and then a Frozen party in the evening. The Frozen dinner menu was interesting and included some northern specialties.
